Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of selection marker systems and screening methods.
  • Antibiotics are well documented to severely curtail cellular metabolism in prokaryotes and also affect plant cells by interfering with essential metabolic events in mitochondria and plastids, in particular chloroplasts (Nap et al. 1992; Brasileiro and Arag ⁇ o 2001; Day 2003). These double membrane organelles involved in energy transduction have been well documented to play a vital role in cellular metabolism and regulation of morphogenesis/developmental events in plant cells.
  • Antibiotics like neomycin are used in medicine for killing pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococci (Hendley and Ashe 2003).
  • the antibiotic resistance marker genes have potency to make antibiotics ineffective, usually, by phosphorylation (Brasileiro and Arag ⁇ o 2001; Wright 2005).
  • herbicide resistance marker genes such as aroAlepsps and bar genes, used as markers to select the transformed cells have the potential to detoxify herbicides such as glyphosate (Comai et al. 1983, 1985; Shah et al. 1986; Clemente et al. 2000) and phosphinothricin (De Block et al. 1987; Barcelo et al. 1994), respectively.
  • the antibiotic/herbicide resistance marker genes are widely classified in the category of negative selection markers (Day 2003; He et al. 2004). Earlier investigations involved raising choline oxidase transgenic genotypes of Brassica juncea cv. Varuna exploiting one such antibiotic resistance marker, neomycin phosphotransferase II ( npt II ). Presence of npt II in transformed cells/morphogenic units enables them to resist exogenous kanamycin as product of this gene, neomycin phosphotransferase phosphorylates active kanamycin to an inactive/ineffective form (Bevan et al. 1983; Herrera-Estrella et al. 1983; Brasileiro and Aragao 2001).
  • Such biomolecules have been placed in the category of positive selection markers (Joersbo and Okkels 1996; Haldrup et al. 1998; Joersbo et al. 1999; Kaeppler et al. 2000; Negrotto et al. 2000; Wang et al. 2000, 2003; Joersbo 2001; Lucca et al. 2001; Wright et al. 2001; He et al. 2004).
  • Choline plays a vital role in several important cellular events such as (i) maintenance of structural and functional integrity of the membranes by regulating the levels of Ptd-Cho, often referred to as lecithin, and (ii) synthesis of an important compatible solute, glycinebetaine (GB) in plants (e.g. sugarbeet, spinach and barley), animals (e.g. rats) and microorganisms (e.g. E. coli ).
  • glycinebetaine glycinebetaine
  • plants e.g. sugarbeet, spinach and barley
  • animals e.g. rats
  • microorganisms e.g. E. coli
  • choline has been demonstrated to play an important role in promoting plant growth, especially in the induction and growth of roots (Che et al. 1993).
  • glycinebetaine By regulating the production of glycinebetaine, choline even plays an important role in protecting cells against abiotic stresses such as salinity and drought
  • the perfect tuning in the levels of choline could be due to its toxicity to certain metabolic events whenever it is present in excess. Higher concentrations of choline have been shown to inhibit plant growth. For instance, high levels of choline inhibit activities of some enzymes such as Rubisco, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase associated with some important metabolic events (Nash et al. 1982).
  • some enzymes such as Rubisco, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase associated with some important metabolic events (Nash et al. 1982).
  • Choline is universally present in higher organisms (Prasad et al. 2000) and is primarily involved in maintaining structural and functional integrity of the membranes (Storey and Wyn Jones 1977). Living systems possess perfect mechanisms to regulate the level of free choline in their cells (Weretilnyk et al. 1995). In the presence of exogenous choline at levels as low as 50 ⁇ M, a marked decline in the specific activities of the enzymes involved in choline biosynthesis was reported by Mudd and Datko (1989a).
  • the present invention is directed to a selection marker system for distinguishing genetically modified plant cells from wild-type plant cells comprising
  • non glycinebetaine synthesizers i.e. plant species lacking glycinebetaine pathway
  • codA ps choline oxidase
  • the inventors clearly prove that the cells of plant species lacking glycinebetaine pathway are extremely sensitive to choline while the cells of transgenic lines of these plant species expressing choline oxidase, choline monooxygenase and/or choline dehydrogenase attained tolerance towards choline at levels that are lethal to wild type cells.
  • choline oxidase choline monooxygenase
  • choline dehydrogenase can be used as a marker gene for plant transformation.
  • choline oxidase choline monooxygenase
  • choline dehydrogenase is particularly suitable to render the genetically modified plant cell choline tolerable, even in concentrations which are high above the threshold at which choline is toxic to the wild type plant.
  • the present invention further concerns a method for screening and/or identifying a choline tolerant plant cell, comprising the steps of
  • the choline concentration in the medium is up to approx. 60 mM, preferably 5 to 60 mM, more preferably approx. 10 to 40 mM, even more preferred approximately 20 to 40 mM, even more preferred approx. 30 to 40 mM, most preferred approx. 40 mM. It has been shown that plants comprising an exogenously derived nucleic acid sequence coding for choline oxidase, choline monooxygenase and/or choline dehydrogenase can survive in a medium containing choline concentrations which are lethal to the wild type of plant.
  • the selection marker system is a positive selection marker system, which is ecologically friendly and can be used in the environment without the disadvantages of environmental systems of the prior art.
  • the nucleic acid sequence coding for choline oxidase is preferably isolated from Arthrobacter sp.
  • Choline monooxygenase is preferably isolated from a plant and choline dehydrogenase is derived from an animal or bacteria in particular E.coli.
  • the inventors have demonstrated that the present invention is particularly applicable to plants from the species Brassica, Nicotiana, Cicer and Arabidopsis.
  • the genetic modification is done by a method selected from the group consisting of plant cell transformation, transfection, electroporation, DNA injection and/or cell fusion.
  • Choline is provided in the form of a suitable salt, in particular choline chloride, choline acetate, choline sulphate and/or choline nitrate.
  • the part of the plant is selected from the group consisting of a single cell, seedling, root, seed, shoot, leaf, hypocotyl, cotyledon, petiole, cotyledonary leaf and callus.
  • the invention is directed to a method for screening and/or identifying a choline tolerant plant cell, comprising the steps of
  • the invention is directed to the use of a nucleic acid sequence coding for a choline oxidase, choline monooxygenase and/or choline dehydrogenase as a selection marker for choline tolerance.
  • the present invention uses choline as a selective agent in a positive selection system.
  • Table 1 shows effective concentrations of various selective agents in positive selection systems.

  • Brassica juncea cv. Varuna Seeds of Brassica juncea cv. Varuna were obtained from Dr. Rajani Raman, Department of Genetics, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, New Delhi, India.
  • Brassica juncea L. Czern & Coss brown mustard
  • Cultures of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Petit Havana SR1 were obtained from Dr. P. Ananda Kumar, Department of Biotechnology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, New Delhi, India.
  • codA gene was isolated in the inventors' laboratory from local strain of Arthrobacter globiformis (GenBank accession number AY589052, hereafter referred as codA ps gene) and cloned into pPZP200 lox ( npt II ) vector (obtained from Dr. Deepak Pental, Department of Genetics, South Campus, University of Delhi, New Delhi, India).
  • the resultant vector named as pSG was electroporated into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101. Hypocotyl and cotyledonary petiolar explants were excised from 6 d old sterile seedlings were transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101/pSG/ codA ps .
  • the shoots of Nicotiana tabacum obtained by multiplying the shoots regenerated from the leaf segments on MS medium supplemented with BAP (2 mg/l) were used to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of choline (0, 20 and 40 mM). In one set of experiments uniformly looking ⁇ 1 cm long shoots were taken while in a second set of experiments a bunch of 6-8 shoots were used.
  • both hypocotyl and cotyledonary petiolar explants exhibited optimal caulogenesis (in terms of 100 percent cultures showing shoot induction and number of shoots per culture as well as the good quality of shoots) on MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg/l), NAA (1.0 mg/l) and AgNO 3 (3.4 mg/l).
  • BAP 1.0 mg/l
  • NAA 1.0 mg/l
  • AgNO 3 3.4 mg/l
  • choline suppressed shoot induction from both hypocotyl and cotyledonary petiolar explants on the shoot induction medium.
  • choline did not cause any significant alteration in callogenesis i.e. callus induction at lower concentrations but in general lower concentrations of choline promoted rhizogenesis. 100 % of cultures exhibited callogenesis in the presence of 40 mM choline.
  • cotyledonary petiolar explants possessing part of cotyledonary leaf lamina expanded over 6-fold and simultaneously exhibited shoot induction from the petiolar cut end on MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg/l), NAA (1.0 mg/l) and AgNO 3 (3.4 mg/l).
  • BAP 1.0 mg/l
  • NAA 1.0 mg/l
  • AgNO 3 3.4 mg/l
  • choline also significantly curtailed the expansion of the cotyledonary leaves.
  • the presence of choline in the medium also caused significant reduction in the green pigmentation of the cotyledonary petiolar explants.
  • choline significantly curtailed the growth of shoots and the degree of suppression in growth increased with increase in the concentration of choline.
  • Nicotiana tabacum one of the most popularly used plant system for transformation/testing the expression of transgenes was used.
  • shoots of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Petit Havana SR1 were obtained by multiplying the shoots regenerated from the leaf segments on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l BAP.
  • Two types of shoot explants were used for the present investigations to evaluate the effect of choline. In one set of experiments uniformly looking ⁇ 1 cm long shoots were used while in a second set of experiments a bunch of 6-8 shoots were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with varying concentrations of choline chloride (0, 20 and 40 mM).
  • choline is equally toxic for the growth of shoots of Nicotiana, as seen in case of Brassica. Choline significantly curtailed shoot growth and the degree of damage was prominent with increase in its concentration. For instance, within 7 d of inoculation loss of green pigmentation followed by senescence/death was recorded in the shoots of Nicotiana in the presence of 40 mM choline. In the second type of shoots used for testing choline effect, one of the cultures exposed to 20 mM choline showed relatively good growth. This could be attributed to the reduced uptake of choline by one of the shoots from the bunch of shoots inoculated in the presence of choline.
  • transgenic lines A, B, D and E showed 100 percent seed germination with significantly higher degree of early seedling growth.
  • Seeds of wild type and all the transgenic lines germinated faster on MGM the early seedling growth was hastened significantly on this medium in comparison to that recorded on full MS medium.
  • the seed germination of four of the five transgenic lines tested was noted to be faster than that of wild type.
  • the growth of the seedlings of the transgenic lines was faster than that of wild type.
  • growth of wild type seedlings on MGM was significantly superior to those grown on full strength MS medium.
  • Fresh weight of the wild type seedlings raised in the presence of 40 mM choline was 90 % lower than those raised in absence of choline. On the contrary, fresh weight of four of the independent transgenic lines raised in the presence of 40 mM choline was only 25-30 % lower than their respective controls.
